Kellyanne Conway said new White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders should not listen to the "jackals and hyenas" attacking her, sometimes personally.

The "irony of modern feminism" is that "they look right past sexist comments said about conservative women, definitely pro-life women like Sarah and me," the counselor to the president told "Fox & Friends."

President Trump promoted Sanders to her new position last Friday. Her predecessor Sean Spicer stepped down after Wall Street financier Anthony Scaramucci was appointed communications director for the administration.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California said that "people have suffered enough" because of President Trump and that a real leader would re-open the part of the government that has been shuttered since December.
